nationally in the next 5 years. well, dave, i folks who are out there fishing today. today is a better day than what tim and the next several days will bring what have been started we've got storm coming and when does it start. what really gets torn around the witching hour. looks like for tonight starting in the north bay here. and by the way, you want to water your lawn tomorrow. we're going to take care of that for you. so just don't worry about carney's washed leaving. the driveway is going to watch tomorrow. >> here's what we've got going on. east bay shoreline all lit up now as see the sun joining us rain develops late tonight and the north bay. it's a typical type of winter storm. however, there's going to be a couple little nuances here. we're going to walk through here 30's across most of the board here. still, 29 livermore got 31 up to santa rosa sometimes during the quarter hours, they sometimes update these a little bit here. 44 san francisco, one of the few spots we see that are not in the 30's. even a 37 half moon bay. so really quite a broad reach of these chilly temperatures. what's going on in tahoe, snow and more snow.

adding to the bank account. speaking of which there is a winter storm warning in place here. typically kicks off at 4 o'clock today is going to be around till tuesday could pick up as much as 6 feet in the higher elevations. but generally speaking in most resorts, maybe 3, 4, the other issue is the snow levels are going to fall with this thing here down potentially down to about 2000 feet or so. so translating that for the bay area, particularly towards the latter portion of the storm system going to definitely at the mount diablo here. mount hamilton. you'll start to see some snow covered mountains. probably we get a break midweek so walking through all of this. we're very involved sunday morning. the focus shifts to the south bay. as you can see, santa cruz mountains may have some flooding issues going on. we have no statements to that. but national weather service is watching that carefully as this. it looks like it will get hit harder for tomorrow. tomorrow night into monday morning focusing the concentration, the south bay and off to the east bay north bay gets its fair share. no doubt. however, the concentration throughout the day tomorrow. but again, the afternoon evening will shift

to the south looking at the longer range forecast. obviously we know the traffic going on sunday into monday. you see the snow showers in the mountains. there's a break tuesday night into wednesday than a week or batch. excuse me comes in thursday in the finnish off the week. good news is lit next weekend looks to be cleared out with all about. so most the rain traffic will be focused the heavy stuff early part from sunday onward to about 2 states. a good benchmark here for your 4 zone forecast is not going to be real thrilling across the of year because of the system that we have taking place. we do have a southerly wind, though, and the advance of this 56 san francisco. we see the mid 50's along the coast, 58 going on burlingame and even to the south. yeah. upper 50's, south bay also upper 50's can get around 60. looks like a lot of this will have to do in the cloud cover really develops. 58 for cupertino east bay shoreline mid-fifties. remember trying to get up to 30's this morning. so it's little bit of a workout mid 50's for tri valley 56 for walnut creek 55

for richmond 51 for so the sweaters will definitely do. but to get a lot of sunshine to snow for most parts today. 52 for napa rose up. all right. busy week. coming up, what does it look like. okay. we've got heavy rain, rain, cold showers going on tuesday. this notes, the colder air filtering in here. there's a break tuesday into wednesday when it redevelops, as you can see, finishing off the week note the high temperatures rested about 50 or so tuesday. reflecting that colder air working and because of the moisture in place, we may not quite as cold inland as we've already seen noel. all right. thanks, dave. >> more people are now eligible for the covid-19 vaccine booster shot the fda announcing 1617 year olds can now get that additional dose kron four's amanda hari spoke with infectious disease. doctors about the new expanded eligibility. she's got the details. >> and i was really happy because every personally get vaccinated. additionally in the community and we get them.

over the age of 65, but long term. there is a chance everyone will need a 3rd many people believe the vaccines will be a three-dose series just like hepatitis measles, mumps and rubella. >> human papilloma virus and neither doctor believes the youngest population will be getting that 3rd owes any time soon under 16, there's very little data about using the booster. so i would expect that people would need to have data before any discussion about whether or not it's need it. that was amanda hari reporting for us. stick with us. we'll be right back after the break.
